  8. Architecture Adaptation • Accuracy: • Increased 1.6%

  9. Techniques to Improve Performance • Adjust learning schedule • Finetuning image features • Data augmentation • Diversified model ensemble

  10. Learning Schedule warm-up performance Learning rate batchsize iters Batch size: 512 Learning rate: 0.002  0.003 NAN Goyal el al. 2017

  11. Techniques to Improve Performance • Adjust learning schedule • Accuracy: increased 0.9% • Finetuning image features • Data augmentation • Diversified model ensemble

  12. Fine-tuning Image Feature 7x7x2048 7x7x1024 Faster-RCNN classes classes res5 average pooling box box 2048 ROI projection attributes attributes Faster-RCNN with FPN 7x7x512 FC-7 FC-6 FC, ReLU FC, ReLU 2048 2048 ROI projection

  13. Techniques to Improve Performance • Adjust learning schedule • Accuracy: 66.91% --> 67.83% • Finetuning image features • Accuracy: increased 0.4% • Data augmentation • Diversified model ensemble

  14. Data Augmentation: Visual Genome • 108,249 images from the intersection of MS-COCO and YFCC • Remove questions with answer not in answer space • ~ 682k questions • Repeat each answer 10 times Q: What color is the clock? A: Green Krishna et al 2016

  15. Data Augmentation: Visual Dialog • Use COCO images • Change 10 turns of dialog to 10 questions • Repeat each answer 10 times • ~423k questions Das et al. 2017

  16. Data Augmentation: Mirrored Image • Interchanging tokens “left” and “right” in questions and answers Q: What direction is the plane pointed? A: left  A: right

  17. Techniques to Improve Performance • Adjust learning schedule • Accuracy: 66.91% --> 67.83% • Finetuning image features • Accuracy: 67.83% --> 68.31% • Data augmentation • Faster-RCNN: 67.83% --> 68.52% • Finetune: 68.31% --> 68.86% • Diversified model ensemble

  18. Techniques to Improve Performance • Adjust learning schedule • Accuracy: 66.91% --> 67.83% • Finetuning image features • Accuracy: 67.83% --> 68.31% • Data augmentation • Faster-RCNN: 67.83% --> 68.52% • Finetune: 68.31% --> 68.86% • Diversified model ensemble

  19. Model Ensemble 72.23 • Strategy 1: • Best models with different seeds • Strategy 2: • Diversified models • Different training dataset • Different image features performance Same models number of models

  20. Performance Improvement • VQA Challenge: • test-dev : 72.12 • test-standard : 72.25 • test-challenge: 72.41

  21. Summary • Model architecture adaption, adjusting learning schedule, image fine-tune and data augmentation improved the single model performance • Diversified model can significantly improve ensemble performance • VQA-suite enabled all of these functionalities • Open source our codebase
